What was it like to drive? You know the one you went out in when you were able to evaluate it and come up with this conclusion.


In fairness an SRT-6 supercharged one would be my preference, but I don't know if they are auto or not.

all the SRT-6s are auto. The guy sat next to me picked his up yesterday. think it was 11k, which is great value (36k something list price, 3 years old). More of a bullivard (sp) cruiser\mini gt car than a out and out sports car, but the same engine (I think) as that c36 (its definately a supercharged AMG unit), and probably equally 'sporty'

Do they do it in an auto? I had a quick look in the classifieds and didn't see any.

99.999% sure that is a No. Only Beemer I'd consider (the coupe one though).

Hmmm , I drove a mustang the other day , it felt like it was going to undress itself at 100'mph. All the interior was moving and even though it was hand made it was still worse than a KIA ceed .

What is the point in American cars ?

Rubbish. Shockingly hard ride and bugger all feedback from any of the controls. It feels like a mk1 SLK but worse, which is pretty much what it is.
